From this sand point projecting far out into Lake Pepin, you can feel the beating pulse of the mighty Mississippi River as you watch flocks of migrating birds and long lines of barges moving up and down the river.

This is a great bird-watching location. On the day I was there there were American White Pelicans and a Double-crested Cormorant flying overhead.
